Henry Cavill has dismissed claims that the forthcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice movie will be split into two instalments.

The star of Man Of Steel told Variety that Zack Snyder's sequel to the Superman reboot would definitely just be a single movie.

He was asked about it following internet rumours that the project - also starring Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot - would be split into two films called Enter The Knight and Dawn Of Justice.

As well as debunking that myth, Cavill also denied that he'd been hurt while filming fight scenes with Affleck.

"Are you kidding?," he joked. "I'm the Man of Steel."

The film is set to open in cinemas next March.
